Speaking, the Chairman & Publisher, Onochie Jon-Igwesi, while thanking the public for participating in the voting process, noted that the editorial team of the magazine which also doubles as the Host Organizing Committee (HOC) deliberately omitted some categories from the voting process. In his words “2020 is the Year in focus for all categories of awards. The editorial team of the magazine which is also the HOC deliberately omitted some categories from the voting process. For instance, one of such categories is the Most Significant Event of the Year. At the end of a cursory look at all events that happened in the Nigerian space in 2020, though few, since the most of 2020 was spent in the Coronavirus lockdown, the team unanimously agreed that the #EndSars Protest was a landmark and significant event of 2020. This award will be conferred on the Nigerian Youths for pulling a feat never before seen in the history of the country”. Those categories are:
